We are a very active youth ministry, with the dual focuses of faith and fun. We believe that having fun is an important thing and reflects the Biblical truth of God being the architect of joy. Our faith is what drives us and brings us into a closer relationship with Christ and each other. We’d love for you to join us and participate in our youth ministry’s happenings.We focus on two verses as the foundation for this ministry;

“Jesus replies, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. The second is like it, “Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and prophets hang on these commandments.”  Matt. 22:37-40 “”Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teach them all I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age” - Jesus of Nazareth Matt. 28:18-20.

We are a very active group, with regular gatherings on Sunday Night and Wednesday night, with Sunday School every Sunday morning between worship services. In addition, we have a variety of activities throughout the year, ranging from our annual Gatlinburg Resurrection retreat to lock-ins and Mystery Trips.Come on over any time and see how far and deep your faith can grow!

Every Sunday morning, we meet in two groups from 10:00 a.m.—10:45 a.m. in the gym classrooms for a time of fellowship, and in depth study of the Bible in preparation for the full church worship service.  Join us every Sunday morning this summer for time together and worship of our Lord and Savior!

We’re making a difference in the lives of others this summer with our Thursday work-days. We’ll be working primarily at two locations, Camp Look Out and Bethel Bible Village. We’re needed for a multitude of tasks so every work day will be different. We need your help urgently, as the more we have for each work day, the easier (and fun) the jobs will be!

Service project Schedule:
